<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the origin of the Hong Kong pineapple bun</h1>
After the British occupation of Hong Kong in 1841, a large number of British food flooded Hong Kong, which also made Hong Kong a gathering place for Chinese and Western cuisines, of which British Western bread was introduced to Hong Kong. When Hong Kong people came into contact with Western-style bread, they felt that the taste was too simple and nutritionally unbalanced, and they did not like British bread very much. So the industrious and intelligent Hong Kong people can always come up with innovative ways, they add butter, sugar, eggs, lard, flour to the outer surface of the bread, and then bake, and finally the surface appears golden, bumpy skin like pineapple shape, hence the name pineapple bun. Eventually, after several generations of improvement, it is now a very authentic pineapple bun. The innovation of Hong Kong people has injected soul into ordinary bread and added a pineapple bun complex without pineapple flavor to ordinary bread.
A simple English bread, through the hands of Hong Kong people, transformed into a household name without pineapple flavor pineapple bun. It reflects that under the colonial rule of the British, we Hong Kong people are not willing to submit to the British food culture, and try to create a food culture that belongs to the Hong Kong people. No one knows the hardships involved, but we can imagine that under british colonial rule, our status Chinese was so low that we could not eat high-end Western restaurants. But our Hong Kong people are not afraid of anything, that is, they are industrious, so as to create a tea restaurant culture that belongs to our Hong Kong people, of which pineapple bun is the treasure of the tea restaurant, the originator of the mountain.
The origin of the Hong Kong pineapple bun is actually the history of the hard work of Hong Kong people to resist British colonial rule.
